Year of production
Can anybody put the year of production of these games, as I used to remember them during the SNES days for making fifth rate gameshow based games — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willirennen (talk • contribs) 17:10, 22 December 2005

Trauma Studios
Trauma Studios wasn't bought since it was owned and shut down by DICE AB. The devs that didn't transfer to DICE AB (Sweden) formed Kaos Studios and was bought by THQ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.144.160.243 (talk) 11:10, 29 March 2006‎

History of the company
needs to be part of this article. How did they become such a huge publisher? Tehw1k1 03:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Homeworld 3
Shouldn't this be listed under upcoming games considering how awesome it is that they're making a new one?68.55.150.25 (talk) 05:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Vigil Games and Elder Scrolls: Morrowing
Isn't that a bethesda game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.198.96 (talk) 22:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Volition
Their profile seems to be highly focussed on the acclaim and position of Saints Row. Could use some cleaning up. 24.76.161.157 (talk) 20:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

shutting down?

40k MMO?
Is there a source for the 40k MMO as a 2009 release? I've seen nothing other than it's still being in the planning phase, without a set release date, or any actual details of the game. Gnarlyhotep (talk) 00:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and removed it from the list of 2009 release games. There's no source that I can find, and both THQ and Vigil game's webpages list no release information on it.Gnarlyhotep (talk) 22:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Call of Duty!?
Call me crazy, but I don't think THQ has had anything to do with Call of Duty as the summary states... Cuardaitheoir (talk) 09:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Upcoming THQ Games
It's listed on here that THQ is bringing out 'WWE Brawl' in 2012, but I can't see anywhere that confirms it. Pretty sure it's old news and won't be created anymore. (Brawl lists PS2 as a platform, yet WWE 12' doesn't even cover the PS2, so why would Brawl cover it?)

Just thought I'd give a heads up before it gets edited. --Darkside05 (talk) 10:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Old THQ logo
As an IP, I cannot upload a photo, can someone upload this file for the thumbnail on the page?? 99.240.231.32 (talk) 23:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Kokopeli
Kokopeli, a company responsible for games like In the Hunt and Robopit on the Sega Saturn redirects here, but it isn't explained why. Is there a good reason? Is it a mistake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.220.98 (talk) 03:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Great reference to use
Here's a great article on Polygon about how mismanagement, incompetence and pride killed THQ's Kaos Studios. We should create new sections and expand on the development and disasters of Homefront and uDraw. - M0rphzone (talk) 07:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Cleanup needed
This article reads like a timeline and is far from being comprehensive. It needs to be restructured/rewritten into paragraphs and expanded. I've expanded some sections and added notices to inform readers, so that these issues may be addressed. - M0rphzone (talk) 23:38, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Update: Farine, who are you talking to in the edit summaries? Weren't you the one who added those sentences and refs in the 1989-1999 section? And you accessed those refs on Nov 10, remember?


 * For the location of the company, nowhere in the 1991 LA ref does it mention San Rafael. It specifically says "THQ Inc. in Calabasas" in the second paragraph. For the THQ ref, it only mentions California, not San Rafael. I think you must have mistaken the location of the reporter in the San Francisco Business Times ref for the location of the company. It never mentions that it was located in San Rafael. But the article does say "SAN RAFAEL", which is the location of the reporter at the time of reporting, not necessarily where the topic of the article is located. So, uh you messed up? M0rphzone (talk) 00:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Saying that THQ was established either in San Raphael or Calabasas are both original research. That's why it should just say California. Period.


 * And you're right, I did inserted OR by saying that THQ was established in San Raphael. I admit mu mistake and it's a good thing that this edit is now gone. But you also inserted OR by replacing it for Calabasas. Unless you have a source that explicitly says that THQ was established in Calabasas, you cannot assume that it was established in that city. The LA Times article only indicates that THQ was based in Calabasas at the time the article was published in 1991. Farine (talk) 01:52, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The source says "THQ Inc. in Calabasas". How hard is it to read that? I'm going to add it in since it's definitely sourced, but I won't word it as "established". - M0rphzone (talk) 03:58, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait hold on, so this ref from LA Times also uses "Calabasas publisher has a new game plan" as the title. Is the company based in Calabasas or Agoura Hills? - M0rphzone (talk) 04:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: Ok, we know for sure that the company was headquartered in Calabasas, California from 1991 to 2009 since LA Times refers to THQ that way for both refs. It looks like they moved to Agoura Hills after 2009. - M0rphzone (talk) 04:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And there you have it: THQ was established in Calabasas. - M0rphzone (talk) 04:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So this ref was where I saw the mention first. I knew I saw it somewhere. - M0rphzone (talk) 04:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Btw, for your earlier comment that 1UP is unreliable: it's actually not according to WP:VG/RS. Maybe only that certain article/author is unreliable, but not the whole source. - M0rphzone (talk) 00:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I never said that 1UP was unreliable. I actually had never heard of this 1UP website before I saw your article. When I said that the source was unreliable, I was stricly referring to the article. Farine (talk) 01:50, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree that this article reads like a timeline and may be better presented using prose. Until someone takes the time to rewrite the article I thought it appropriate to place bullet points. NickoftheCorn (talk) 03:36, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Is this an ad?
This whole article reads like an ad. I don't trust a word of it. 70.180.188.238 (talk) 03:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


 * In what way does the article read like an advertisement? Primogen (talk) 17:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Then rewrite it. And clearly you don't seem to see that this is incomplete and based off of company reports. The article needs to be converted into paragraph format, and is far from being complete. - M0rphzone (talk) 04:54, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

THQ is not (yet) disestablished
Folks - there have been numerous editors attempting to add unverifiable information to this article with relation to THQ's current status. Their stock is still traded on the OTC market. The company is still in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings. The company still has employees. For these reasons (and others), it is not appropriate to mark this company as being out of business, disestablished, defunct, etc. The disestablished category is not yet appropriate. Adding fate or defunct year to the infobox is also not appropriate at this time. If others disagree, please provide verification to the contrary and let's discuss here. Thank you.

The 1989–1994 THQ logo
Why isn't there a picture of the 1989–1994 THQ logo in this article? 71.95.61.24 (talk) 16:53, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

THQ Subsidiaries Citation
I need help with the citations of all the THQ subsidiaries listed, some of them are hard to find on Google Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 10:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 24 November 2018
Change "In 1997, THQ was reincorporated as a Delaware Corporation,[8] and acquired San Diego video game developer Pacific Coast Power & Light.[11]" to "In 1997, THQ was reincorporated as a Delaware Corporation,[8] and in 1999 acquired Santa Clara video game developer Pacific Coast Power & Light.[11]"

The Link provided for reference #11 (http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jun/01/local/me-43070) in the article calls PCP&L a San Jose, not San Diego company, and the year is 1999 not 1997. To be more accurate, the merger was on May 10th, 1999, and Pacific Coast Power and Light was based out of Santa Clara as shown on MobyGames (and I worked there back in 1999-2002). https://www.mobygames.com/company/locomotive-games-inc 76.198.129.251 (talk) 06:24, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: The date of 1999 was given and San Diego was changed but to San Jose and not Santa Clara, since this is not what the source says. They may have had different offices in both cities.  Spintendo   19:19, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
